Research Abstract |
Dr. Shapiro's primary area of research interest is in family coping with mental retardation, physical disability and disease especially from a cross-cultural perspective. This research uses a systems model incorporating various components such as social support, family dynamics, and perceived meaning, and has examined families of children with Down Syndrome, developmental delay, cancer, and polio. Dr. Shapiro is also engaged in evaluation research focused on psychosocial skill training in Family Medicine residents. | |
